I am just trying to create an authentic life for myself.
I am just trying to fill up my apartment with meaningful items.
I am just trying to create authentic art.
I am just collecting some cameras from different eras.
I am just enjoying a beer, relaxing.
I am just collecting old magazines with pictures of nature/old stuff
I am just mashing up genres of music.
I am just sitting on my authentic couch.
I am just going buy some used books later that look 'old' and 'historically relevant'.
I am just going to buy some humble shoes.

I am just 1 bro
I am just 1 bro searching for meaning
I am just 1 bro searching for meaning in our modern world.
I am just 1 bro creating art in my meaningful space
looking to transcend

I m not buying n e thing for a bit so that I can afford the new DJ hero video game. It will be the most authentic thing I own, which is saying quite a lot since I own a pair of vans and a BLIND brand skateboard AND an iPhone.

@panjandrum,

Looks like HRO now has corporate sponsorship.

anony's picture

@panjandrum, na man... see I only drink pbr... none of that corporate bullshit. Of course whenever you buy an apple product cancer curing rainbows shoot out of steve's ass... so it's totally cool

cold legs's picture

yeah hold on guys i need to make sure every alt thing i own is in the pic hold on

- multiple cameras (ft. SLR) CHECK
- macbook CHECK
- amp, mixing board (or some kind of board, idfk yall) keyboard, record player CHECK
- mad vans CHECK

and i guess i'll sit on my skateboard because the floor isn't authentic enough.

what a jerk, and i hate his fucking shoes too.

*\o/*'s picture

@cold legs, thought his shoes are the only thing on this pic that doesnt suck @ all.

cold legs's picture

@*o/*, nope, sry bro. pretty sure they're an atrocity.

Sam's picture

I have nothing to add beyond that this is pretty much exactly what I was doing 10 minutes ago and will be doing again in another 10 minutes. In other words, this pretty much marks HRO's descent into authentic journalism.

Adicool's picture

hey
you actually seem smarter than I thought...you're full of subtle figures of speeches...

"I'm just trying to create something that's authentic."
Very cool oxymoron, Goethe couldn't have said it better...

xavier's picture

@Adicool, this was stupid

Lux's picture

The only thing I don't see is his vinyl collection, I give him an 8.33872 out of 10 on the authenticity scale.

anony's picture

@Lux, That's because he only listens to wax cylinders. Vinyl is so mainstream now.

Lux's picture

@anony,

OMG does this mean he has a phonograph somewhere?? So jealousss

grlsamimo's picture

where's teh fixed gear bike? imo

anon's picture

idk guy seems pretty cool

fufu's picture

looks like a pretty lonely guy, with lots of 'friends', trying to get even more of them by doing 'cool' things. and thats how to many people work, make others believe what you want to be so you can get closer to really being it. maybe just dropping your pants in the street helps.

Carles you keep my thoughts on culture going.
Keep at it bro!

Janus's picture

Last night my refrigerator was stolen. At about 9:30 I was woken up by a loud noise. I went into my kitchen and found that my refrigerator was missing. I looked out the window and saw a truck pulling out of my driveway with my refrigerator secured to the trunk with bungee cords.

I thought about calling the police, but I didn't feel like dealing with them. I am a lazy person. Instead I decided to buy a new refrigerator.

At 10:15 I left my house and drove to Sears. I stood in front of the automatic doors, waiting for them to open. They didn't open. I banged on the glass and shouted. After maybe five minutes of this someone came and opened the doors for me.

I walked into the store and stopped in front of the TVs. They were showing the Home Shopping Network. I unzipped my pants and began to masturbate furiously. I ejaculated to a shot of a pasta cooker.

I walked up to an employee. I asked her if there were any refrigerators in stock. She didn't reply, as she was too busy staring in horror at my erect penis. I had forgotten to put it back in my pants.

"Fuck," I said.

@Janus, no, you didn't.

Ja3on's picture

Just a bro using pseudo maxims to impress tweens
Just a bro with an army of lemming bratz to fight his battles
Just a bro self aggrandizing amongst automatons
Just a bro saying a lot without really saying anything at all!

I'm just a dude who knows he's going to get called FGGT now, go ahead surprise me young prodigies...

anonyt's picture

@Ja3on, hahaha- just because you pre-empt it doesn't make you any less of a fggt.

you really don't 'get it' huh?

Ja3on's picture

@anonyt,
bravo! you didnt disappoint. Putting get it in '' is basically screaming that your IQ is below 80 and you need a special school

Rape's picture

I miss tugging u off w/ my mouf
I miss taking u from behind
I miss cuddling w/ u & watching The Goonies 'after'
I miss US.

liquid's picture

oh, carles.
the concept of 'alt' that you preach about is no better than being 'mainstream'. it is more esoteric, for sure, but no better.

but somehow, i think you understand this already. i think that, somehow, you are not backing what you claim to. you know how superficial all of this is, don't you?

relaxing's picture

@liquid, is "not getting the joke" the new "authentic"? will look into this.
love, relaxing.

frenchchris's picture

@the fuk?,

"...us actual, real musicians" = boring ass hater

the fuk?'s picture

yeah french chris, us actual musicians who dont pose with our shit because we actually have real interest in what were doing. not amassing meaningless comments on our lookbook just so we can feel like were worth something

bwllmb's picture

@the fuk?,

We 'real musicians' have much better ways of feeling 'like were [sic] worth something'. We log on2 relevant weblog The HROs and talk about how authentic and meaningful we are.

'We actually have real interest in what were doing, yall!'
-FukBro, 2k9-2k10.5

the fuk?'s picture

@bwllmb, yeah dawg im "alt" and have a "huge ego" which makes me "relevent" and "authentic" ya know. suicide is also "authentic" you should try it

beebobrah's picture

fckin sweet gray shoes. what kind are those? i feel they will make each step a meaningful foray into an alt lifestyle. maybe i'll work at a coffee shop, or perhaps an organic grocery store. i love you

beebobrah's picture

RAVE-ON BARKSDALE's picture

Tony's picture

Ah ah !!
I never see more funny !! This blog is really cool !
Damn' I look like a fucking hipster ?! Damn' I always HATE hipsters...
Yes I am the guy on the photograph. Friends told me I was on this blog... I don't know "Hipster Runoff" so I am checking and... It makes me smile a lot.
I am a Sountrack maker and I don't try to be hype. It's not my appartement. It's not my skateboard... not my cameras.
Yours comments make me laugh a lot !
